Description
Abstract
Las charcas ganaderas son sistemas acuáticos temporales asociados
a prácticas agropecuarias tradicionales que funcionan como
pequeños humedales. Estos sistemas contribuyen de forma significativa
a la conservación de la biodiversidad. Trabajos recientes
han puesto de manifiesto su elevada importancia para la reproducción
de un destacado número de especies de anfibios. Los objetivos
de este estudio han sido inventariar y evaluar el estado de
conservación de las charcas ganaderas localizadas en la Región
de Murcia. Se han inventariado un total de 129 charcas y, a su vez,
se ha detectado el uso de estos cuerpos de agua por parte de seis
especies de anfibios, tres de ellas incluidas en la Directiva
92/43/CEE: Bufo calamita, Alytes obstetricans y Pelobates cultripes.
Un elevado número de charcas habían perdido su funcionalidad
o presentaban un estado de conservación deficiente debido al
abandono de las tareas de mantenimiento y al exceso de presión
ganadera.
Farm ponds are temporary aquatic systems related to traditional agricultural practices which act as small wetlands. These systems contribute significantly to the conservation of biodiversity and recent studies have demonstrated their importance for amphibians as breeding sites. The objectives of this study were to provide an inventory of farm ponds and evaluate their conservation status in the Region of Murcia. A total of 129 farm ponds were inventoried and, in turn, a total of six amphibian species were detected, three of them included in the 92/43/CEE Directive: Bufo calamita, Alytes obstetricans and Pelobates cultripes. A large number of ponds were non-operative or showed a poor conservation status mainly due to a neglected maintenance and excessive livestock pressure.
